Look what Justin Simmons did back in 2010. You never know what will happen when you try. I expect it will make Mike pick up his game, and I don't think that is a bad thing. The likelihood of him getting crushed is pretty high, but still it changes the dynamic in the race and the district.Chris Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785389463330442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-28561074938048271722016-01-09T09:07:32.796-05:002016-01-09T09:07:32.796-05:00Republicans are dreaming if a 20-year-old is going...Republicans are dreaming if a 20-year-old is going to beat a Muhlenberg graduate.

In my campaign announcement I said that I was a former Bethlehem Steel worker who knew the plight or circumstances of working people in a weak economy ; That as a substitute teacher I knew the nature of the problems that existed in education. And as a longtime neighborhood leader I knew what were the main concerns of those people residing in the various neighborhoods...At that time the 133rd District included parts of Allentown and Bethlehem and the townships of Salisbury and Whitehall; all of Catasauqua, Coplay and Fountain Hill boroughs; and Hanover Township in Lehigh County... To be honest I was overwhelmed by the three before mentioned candidates ... But I He did win the two east Allentown voting precincts in the district where I had been president of the neighborhood organization for about 30 years. Although I did not move from my present address, through redistricting my legislative district is the 132nd which Schlossberg seeks re-election and Long seeks to be a challenger.. Bernie is right , Schlossberg never has had a challenger so in 2014 when 5 east side districts joined his district we never had a choice for another candidate. In fact, the decision to actually implement redistricting because it had been contested became so late that no one here was prepared to challenge him... Now Facebook described me as both communicative and funny with an open mind ... Now who wants a 68 going on 69 year old man who he has run for political office before but never achieving the goal of being elected but in one election for County Commissioner got 32,000 votes but still lost to make another bid for State representative . But my problem is while I don't disdain campaigning I disdain spending money to do so. I just feel that I would be better in governing then campaigning... While I don't take back the govern statement, I realize that the best intended legislator can be put under water by all the nonsense that occurs in the state legislature.
